ongoing since 1997

artist's hair, ribbon, binding

A growing collection of swags of the artist's hair, sewn into fringes and hanging on a wall like tinsel celebrating a rite of passage. Each section is discreetly embroidered
with a date, referring to the year in which the artist had the haircut
resulting in the hair for that section. Ordered chronologically, each
section has a different character: more and less healthy, increasingly
showing grey. The hair continues to be somewhat organic, hanging differently
with atmospheric changes.
